Sealyham Terrier
The Sealyham Terrier is an uncommon terrier but is plucky and full of life. This breed has a devoted following and is one of the calmest of the terriers.
History
The Sealyham Terrier originated in Wales in the mid 1800s by Captain John Edwards, who lived in Sealyham in Pembrokeshire. Captain Edwards crossed hounds, corgis, West Highland White Terrier, Dandie Dinmont Terriers and wirehaired fox terriers in an attempt to develop a tenacious dog that could hunt badgers by scent and by sight. This breed is still a great vermin chaser but is also a wonderful companion, but is uncommon in the United States. In 1911, the Sealyham Terrier was recognized by the American Kennel Club as a member of the terrier group.
Appearance and Size
The Sealyham is a muscular dog with a domed head, short straight legs, long neck, large feet and a docked tail. The eyes are dark, wide apart and set deep in the head. The ears are folded at the level of the head and fold forward. The coat of the Sealyham is long and wiry with a soft undercoat. The coat color is typically white but some may have lemon, tan or badger markings on the ears and head. The adult Sealyham Terrier stands around 12 inches at the shoulder and weighs about 18 to 20 pounds.
Personality
The Sealyham Terrier is a happy and playful dog. A loyal family companion, the Sealyham is less active and rowdy than other terriers but is reserved around strangers and some have an independent streak.
